About Helix Hospitality


Helix Hospitality started from humble beginnings. Our founders - filled with hope and committed to hard work - began as operators, running and managing a single hotel in Montgomery, Alabama. 

Over time, they began to assemble a team of dedicated individuals who shared their vision and strong work ethic. Technology systems were developed, common practices implemented, and a culture of value and respect flourished. As their aspirations grew alongside the business, they knew that true success could only be achieved by sticking to the values that guided them in those early days. 

Today, those same values are still at the core of everything we do. As the hospitality industry changes and evolves in the years to come, Helix Hospitality will continue to thrive by relying on the strong foundation established over two decades ago. 

While our portfolio has grown to include 11 hotels and 1114 rooms, and our team is now over 300 employees strong, our same culture and values are still at the core of everything we do. As the hospitality industry changes and evolves in the years to come, Helix Hospitality will continue to thrive by relying on the strong foundation established over two decades ago.
